CPTTTTTTTTXnp 19 ' : EX-VISTA and Peace Corps volunteers will be in the Union Building to talk to WSC students. 'Action' Volunteers speak to students Ex-Peace Corps and Vista volunteers, Amin Mazrui (Kenya), Cece Pieczynski and Tom Kramer (Kansas City), will be on the Weber State campus Nov. 14-16, to talk with students about 1974 Peace Corps and Vista projects and placement. Seniors interested in obtaining more information or applying for Spring and Summer programs should contact them in the Student Union Lobby anytime from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Host countries and sponsoring agencies are requesting a record . number of volunteers for 1974, according to Mazrui. On the Weber State campus, Mazrui stated, "We're looking for graduates with Education, Skilled Trades, Health and Liberal Arts degrees. Over the past seven years," he said, "Peace Corps programs have expanded from 390 to 955 in 63 countries. As a result we're receiving increased requests for volunteers who can teach their skills, whether it be language, math, vocation education or health services to others." All volunteers, regardless of their degree,- receive pre-assignment training. Peace Corps volunteers receive from 12-14 weeks of intensive language and cultural history training. Mazrui is a former Peace Corps language training teacher of Swahili in his native country, Kenya. Vista volunteers, such as Ms. Pieczynski' or Kramer, attend four to six week training sessions emphasizing social problems and community relations. They both served as Vista volunteers in Kansas City where they worked in recreation and counseling programs for adolescents. All volunteers receive a more than adequate living allowance, medical care, and a readjustment allowance which is put away for every month served and awarded at the end of the assignment. Singles and marrieds with no dependents are preferred. Dormitory plans Christmas party for deaf children A meeting to plan a Christmas party for deaf children has been scheduled for Thursday night at 7 p.m. The meeting is open to all students wishing to participate in the party sponsored by Promontory Tower. Interested students should meet in the Promontory Tower cafeteria. President Joseph L. Bishop has also been invited to participate in the meeting. Student government to run Volunteers' Executive Council session last Wednesday, centered on making the Volunteer Services, a student government operated program. It is currently under the direction of the Sociology Department. Dr. Wes Whatcott, advisor to the program this year, attended the meeting, along with Dave Allen, student director and Professor Pauline Loveless, who helped start the program last year. They presented their views to executive council, and received input as to the situation. Lose things Whatcott said he felt that the program would lose a couple of things if it were taken over by student government. One of these would be the close supervision it is now receiving. He said it was a lot easier for the sociology department to work with the program in the social science building, because if the students needed help, the instructors would be right there. Loveless stated that she was concerned over where student government would house the facility should they take over its operation. Whatcott pointed out that the program seemed to be situated pretty well, as most students have classes in the Social Science Building. Students working Dave Allen said that students are presently working at a couple of schools; the Dee school being one of them. He said that some students were working at MoWeDa youth home, the state industrial school, the blind school. Allen also said that agen cies ask for help from the college. As the program is set up now, one fifth to one fourth of the students involved with volunteer services are sociology majors, however the program is open to all students. Loveless pointed out that even if the agency were moved, the majority of students would remain in behaviorial sciences. Ways of involving student government without ruining the present program were discussed. 'It was first suggested that a sub-chairman be appointed to work under Allen, but this arrangement did not seem satisfactory to the sociology representatives. Reed Hellewell, student government president, then suggested that this arrangement be inverted so that the social work become a subcommittee of a broader thing. This would mean that someone would be guiding the program and filtering it to Dave Allen and coordinators of other fields. Becky Sparkman, communications vice president, pointed out that the coordinator would be just that, a coordinator not a controller. Public relations In other business, the subject of the Public Relations booklet Jack Helgeson is putting together was approved after some debate and a deadline was set. The booklet, costing $600 would explain what the Associated Students of Weber State College really stands for, what the duties of student government are and explain various campus services. It will be designed to use for several years. The booklet will be distributed Winter quarter during ID validation. Publication deadline was set for Dec. 1, with Executive Council's deadline being set for Nov. 21. Academic Assembly holds election today Students may vote today for the members of the academic assembly. Candidates for all but two seats are running unopposed. Dave Allen is running against Jeffrey L. Hoskins for social science representative. Von Moody and Craig H. Parker will run against each other for natural science representative. Students may vote at polls in the dorms and in the Union Building. Students must present their I.D. card or red receipt card to vote. Craig Brown, Gary M. Hess, Scott S. Heiner, Scott E.
